Sir,
I have the honour to refer to your despatch
No.139 of 27th April, 1939, on the subject of the
report of the Committee on the training of teachers in
Hong Kong.
2.
The assumption that the College as I prefer
to call it - will undertake the training of non -
graduate teachers for both Anglo-Chinese and vernacular
schools, post-graduate training being undertaken by the
University Department of Education, is correct.
Co-operation between the Government and University
Education Departments has been strengthened by the recent
appointment by the University Council of an Advisory
Committee on the training of teachers. Of this committee
the Director of Education and the proposed Principal of
the new Teachers' Training College are members.
3.
The relations between the staff of the Training
College and the staff of the University Education
Department have not yet been determined in detail, but
I am informed that the University is willing to allow
members of its staff to give assistance in methods of
teaching such subjects as English, Chinese and Science,
and also by means of lectures on the history and general
philosophy of education. The University is also willing
to promise its co-operation along such lines as the
later development of the scheme may require.
THE RIGHT HONOURABLE
MALCOLM MACDONALD, M.P.,
